Overseas School Project

Developed in collaboration with German writer/director Armin Beber. Every year Asylum conducts four week-long theatre workshops at the Helene-Lange School in Wiesbaden, Germany. The schools radical, progressive approach includes a heavy emphasis on the innovative use of theatre in the classroom.

As a result of the success of this programme, Asylum have been invited to conduct similar projects in a number of other schools across Germany. Since the projects inception in 2001, we have been sourcing top quality theatre professionals to co-facilitate these workshops – and creating unique opportunities for working theatre artists to collaborate and work in an international context. To date, over thirty facilitators have worked on the programme.
